The Ravenel Bridge, a 2.5 mile span, connects Charleston to Mount Pleasant over the Cooper River. If you have lived in Charleston during the past 5 years, you will recall the excitement of watching the bridge under construction and the coming down of the old Grace Bridge. The bridge has become a symbol of our whole community. Looking out into the harbor gives you a new perspective on where you live.
Join The Lean Team to walk across our bridge. We gather at 8 am, Saturday mornings, at the gravel parking lot just past the Cigar Factory on East Bay and Cooper in Charleston. The nearest GPS address is 12 Cooper St. Charleston, SC 29403. Each week we record the miles walked by all of our participants. Join the fun, help our collective miles grow, and experience health one step at a time! As you walk with The Lean Team you encourage and are encouraged as you build relationships. It is a powerful and unique experience! Students who walk at least three times may redeem the miles for free registration for the 10K Cooper River Bridge Run on March 27th, 2010. The Bridge Run has a history of 32 years with over 38,000 participants just last year. Everyone is welcome!
